(http://www.gdacs.org/xml/gdacs_cap.xml)
Used to publish to other systems
Participation to CHORIST project for a more operative use of the format:
• Development of CAP based alerting and awareness systems
• Development of libraries to handle the format in a robust way
Early adoption and use in the past years
• Flexible (because of XML nature)
• Good ontology (locally profiled like in Italian experience)
• Document flow
• Geographic information
Evaluation
GDACS
- Publication to other systems
CrisisWall
- Acquisition from other systems
Use cases
